Cheerios Recall 1.8 Million Boxes Due To Unlisted Wheat Ingredient
If you're on a gluten-free diet or are allergic to wheat, you need to know about a General Mills recall involving their top-selling Cheerio's and Honey Nut Cheerio's brands of breakfast cereal.
The boxes in question were manufactured in July at General Mill's Lodi, California plant. The Class 1 recall is occurring because the products in question may include wheat flour even though the boxes are labeled as gluten-free.
Specifics can be found on the General Mills corporate website but in general, consumers who have Cheerio's or Honey Nut Cheerio's with the following code dates - which follow the "better if used by" date:
